Reds perfectly execute an anti-jinx on Homey Bailey's no-hitter

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey threw the second no-hitter of his career Tuesday evening against San Francisco Giants, and while he was doing it, the Reds Twitter account was constantly reminding all of their followers what was happening.

Most die-hard fans believe that during a no-hitter, it’s best not to mention anything at all, don’t even speak of it, lest you jinx the rare event.

Many players believe the same, as most ballplayers will refuse to even speak to a pitcher in the middle of a no-hitter bid.

The people who run the Reds Twitter handle decided to forget all that. They started tweeting about Bailey’s then perfect game in the third inning and didn’t stop until he completed the no-no. (Well, they did take a brief break in the 8th inning, perhaps letting their nerves get to them then.)

They do not fear the jinx as Homer Bailey no-hits the San Francisco Giants.
